Until recently, the insurance company was a "not for profit" entity. Once they escaped the insurer of last resort regulatory leash, they slashed their managing agent contracts from 14 down to 2. 95% of our revenue came from that one contract. The owner had expected a heads up when the contract was last renewed. Instead they pulled the rug out with 30 days notice. Our company's owner treated us better than he'd been. He surprised us with really nice severance packages and encouraged us to search for new jobs while we wound down. We didn't have to stick it out until they closed the doors to get the package either.

To bring this back around to the subject of kilts. They would never have allowed me to wear a kilt to work. Our office dress code nazi would have fainted had I tried.
Yeah. I have the same issue with kilts here. After reviewing the male and female dress code, we are allowed to dress casually I got the same thing when I asked.

Women are allowed to wear: non-emblem tshirt, blouse, polo, button shirt, dress, skirt, jeans, khakis, slacks, shorts, and capri pants. Funny part is that skirts are not expressly mentioned but they are allowed to wear them.

Men are allowed to wear: non-emblem tshirt, polo, button shirt, jeans, khakis, and slacks. Shorts are expressly denied. Men cannot wear anything that is not in the above list in writing.
